    I don't usually buy the soundtrack of a game, but when I do I listen to it until I hate every song. Anyway, the game is amazing with disabled HUD, it's like real life. I still have nightmares of being close to Unidad. I haven't completed the predator mission, that bastard alien is invincible?

O que era para ser seu forte que era a questão stealth é bem fraco também com uma inteligencia artificial muito fraca dos inimigos sabendo em muitos momentos onde exatamente onde você está ao serem chamados atenção, corpos de inimigos no chão simplesmente somem não dando pára você esconder.

    - Vehicle physics have a lot of room for improvement.
    - A few animations could be better.

    This game easily can be the next farcry3-like breakthrough, but it needs much more work. So much bugs, freezes, quits suddenly, it's like somehow programmed in the kindergarten or by spongebob. The gameplay, the story, the open world could be the best if the game could be run without sudden quits in the middle of the quests. It's a crap.

    The Open World looks great, that's about all the positives about this game.
    But the ridiculously slow bullet velocity alone makes this game barely worth playing, unless you have no problems with weapons that feel like pea shooters.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wildlands is a really great game if you play with three other players that are into playing in a serious tactical style.
    Playing Solo this game is still very good but you miss out on using it as a more serious military sim game.
    Even though there are three A.I teammates you can use in game it is very limited to what you can command them to do. For instance there is not even a basic flank order which was very disappointing.
    You can command them to hold position, go to a specific area you highlight(all three not just one will go to that spot) and you can tell them to regroup and to fire. Those are the only commands in game for them, :(
    Another thing that may turn many off about this game is it is part RPG in that you have to loot supply boxes scattered all over the map to get points to add skills and do many side missions that are very repetitive!
    There is the steal a plane side mission, steal a helicopter, start a radio and defend until timer runs out, breach a entrance door and hack a computer that is defended by enemies in the building, stop a convoy and lastly a turn off a radio tower and race to a second before the time runs out.
    These were all fun the first few times BUT after 6 or 7 times they become pretty boring.
    To unlock weapons and mods for them you have to first get the info to where they are by using Intel by interrogating lieutenants then they will be highlighted on the map. Some are in area's that are guarded and some are not.
    Overall it is a good game solo but is not a "Ghost recon" game like earliest versions.
    I don't think this should have even been called a "Tom Clancy Ghost recon" game honestly.
    That is not saying i did not have a lot of fun playing it but it just is not the same as advanced warfighter from 2006.
    Like i said earlier if you have three friends that like to play in a serious tactical military sim style like the guys on the Youtube channel F.I.S.T do then this game is well worth the money.
    If you will be playing it solo then grab it on sale it can be a lot of fun for $20-$30    … Expand

    I like to describe this game in terms of a fusion between The Division and GTA: Online. Gunplay in this one is amazing, I can't really think of any other game in which I would enjoy shooting as much. Missions are somewhat repeatable, but as environment and stealth are two crucial factors on the highest difficulty level (which I do recommend a lot), they vary a lot in that regard.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I stopped playing to write this. I made this account to write this. The game is nothing like past ghost recon games, it is not fun, it is the standard Ubisoft open world fare that seems to come out with the irritating regularity of a period.

    the game is annoyingly inaccurate, and I am not talking "my M4A1 is a 5MOA gun in the game when the platform is traditionally 1MOA." My AI controlled squadmate CONSISTENTLY fres his sniper rifle full auto when in a vehicle. Enemies can fire perfectly accurate streams of death using machine pistols at 50+ yards, and villagers seem to ignore the special ops troops shouting in English while killing gun wielding maniacs.

    I stopped playing when the following exchange happened between my character and a squadmate.

    "Ok I found the location for a cocaine factory, it is in an abandoned meat processing plant"

    "Alright boss let's go bust some heads"

    "We can't, the door to the building is protected by a passcode, which is in the computer of one of their lieutenants"

    freaking what??? the crack special military team made up of the best of the best soldiers is stopped by a freaking code lock??

    I was out at that point, my immersion was gone. The old Ghost team would have blown up the factory, killed everyone, and been back stateside before anyone missed them.

    Ranting aside I do have one final question. Why open world? This game could have been a level based Third person shooter and nothing of narrative value would have been lost.

    In the end the game is bland, boring, and can be replaced by it's previous counterparts.

    if you like tactical combat go play MGS5. if you like sniping gameplay, go play Sniper Elite. if you have a hankering for third person shooters, Spec Ops: The Line has not gone anywhere.

    in short: Bland Boring and Dull, I got it on sale for $14 and I think I paid too much for it    … Expand

    Played ghost mode (permadeath mode) for 16 hours being extremely careful and having almost reached level 30 (level cap). Got out of a helicopter, fell through the map and died. Everything I did up until that point was a waste of my time. Save yourself from a mediocre, poorly optimized and bugged game. The devs gave up on it so why shouldn't you?

Its totally fine for them to throw in a huge array of new microtransations and loot crates since the last time I played /slow claps

    Please consider this game right now to be [Early Access]

    I decided to do my review now after spending about 50+ hours playing, maxing out my character and finding almost all the collectables - and I still have plenty to do, however that replayability will be limited once you have essentially seen and done everything that Ghost Recon Wildlands has to offer.

    Even though I've enjoyed my time playing the game, yes its FUN to play - its also frustrating and in classic ubisoft style - its full of bugs and glitches it is simply not finished right now and needs some big patches to fix a lot of the bugs, some of which are hilarious but totally ruin the co-op immersion. There is also a considerably amount of design flaws which seriously are stupid such as chain link fences which you can ram and destroy with vehicles, but you can't destroy them with grenades or C4.

    Stealth vs Loud; The former is one of the problems with the game as quite a few missions require perfect stealth to complete otherwise its instant fail and you have to restart; many of these are nearly impossible in public co-op for the obvious reasons, whilst failing or dying has little consquence it can become annoying having to keep backtracking in order to complete the missions and as for death, put it simply you'll die - most of the time you'll suffer WTF deaths or unfair deaths due to narcos or unidad spawning from thin air, this issue still persists and really ruins a lot of the fun when your suddenly surrounded by 10+ unidad troopers + attack helios in the space of 20 seconds, the balance here is just horrible, not to mention the unidad can, and will often disrupt your missions and even sometimes causing you to fail the missions just because 'they can'

    The AI is horrible, your team mates are literally just tag alongs most of the time- in fact, if you had the option to go alone it probably would be better since they are that dumb. Enemy AI is broken as well, some enemies function with zero brain functions and will just allow you to kill them easily, others will know exactly where you are at all times - they'll shoot through walls, fire mortars - enemy helicopters will circle you constantly until you can kill them, and by the way? Totally forget about surviving against unidad apache gunships.

    Driving is also a major problem and needs tweaking, this was one of the major concerns in the beta. Its essentially doesn't work very well, cars and ground vehicles feel like they wobble sometimes and its very easy to lose control, Helicopters are even worst and takes a lot of practice before you can fly like a pro; as for destroying targets in helios...forget about it, not happening.

    Wildlands greatest assest is the eye candy, They really made Bolivia look spectular, the graphics are 10/10 easily but its a shame about the rest - potentially in a years time Wildlands will be an awesome game but right now; be prepared for many issues.

    Pros

    Awesome Graphics and Scenery
    Plenty of collectables
    Good co-op experience
    Fun to play
    Character and Weapon Customization

    Cons

    Bugs and glitches everywhere

    Ghost Recon Wild-lands could have been a good game but sadly its only a mediocre one. There are a number of aspects to this game that let it down. The most obvious is the Uplay interface that can best be described as a marketing tool. Unlike Steam that mostly gets out of your way Uplay is simply a nuisance that constantly trying to sell you things even when the game is loading.

The most obvious is the Uplay interface that can best be described as a marketing tool. Unlike Steam that mostly gets out of your way Uplay is simply a nuisance that constantly trying to sell you things even when the game is loading.

    The second biggest failing is the confused mix of arcade style game play and strategic military shooter. It should be one thing but really its both and its a discordant mix. Things constantly pop up on your screen, rubbish about movies, tutorials, insistent requests to join on line play and other nonsense that like Uplay simply get in the way and can best be described as "screen graffiti". This arcade interface is simply a nuisance and its not helped by a needlessly complex mapping system that in trying to help you simply confuses. Less would have been far more.

    With its open world game environment you would have thought good vehicle physics would be a must. Well you would be wrong again. Ground vehicles handle like buses with choppers being the only decent form of transport.

    Game plays a mess too. Because of the annoying arcade interface you often find it difficult to work out simply things, mission parameters and the like. The net result if failed missions where have to go in with no real idea of what it is you are to do let alone how you are expected to achieve anything.

    Gun physics are mediocre too. Things like zooming sniper sights are limited and poorly executed. Guns feel awkward and under powered. Enemies seem to know where you are for no obvious reason turning you into a bullet magnet in short order.

    I played this game half halfheartedly and could not really get into it. It's deficits are so conspicuous and extensive that like Far Cry 5 its more frustrating than it could ever be said to be enjoyable.

    Enemies sometimes spawn from nothing, near to you.

    The sniper weapon constantly loses their supressor and you need to go to the menu to equip then (in some weapons, it is impossible to equip after you lost it).
    In coop, players can see things different from the other (for example, one player see a running helicopter, other no).
    Sometimes the game closes.

    Part One: you have to sneak through a base filled with enemies like a metro on rush hour. One look in your direction and it’s mission over. Also, grenade lures are completely random. Sometimes the enemy walks towards them to investigate, other times they ignore them or walk directly towards you. You are not allowed to take out anyone, so, you’ll complete part one about 33% of attempts, based mostly on luck. You arrive at the destination and plant a few mines to prepare for part two, then you meet the legendary Sam Fisher.
    Part Two: since time is of the essence, Fisher goes blah blah blabber blabber blah blah blah for *minutes*, and you can’t skip the conversation, even if you have heard it twenty times already. Then all hell breaks loose. You weren’t allowed to kill anyone but now you have to kill everyone. Riiight.
    Usually at least two of your AI teammates are down before they even reach you, and then you have to survive wave after wave of enemies, while in a scarcely defensible rooms with multiple openings that allow the enemy great opportunities. Forget about reviving the fallen AIs, you’ll just die.
    Again, if you have a good assault weapon and some luck, you survive. This happens about 40% of the time.
    Part Three; time to exfiltrate, finally! Unfortunately, enemies are everywhere, and there are multiple helicopters overhead, armed with rockets. Taking down the copters is pointless, since they respawn immediately. You might manage to get out of the compound and into the wilderness, but copters will still keep flying directly overhead, and you’ll eventually be spotted. At that point, enemies from all directions will kill you. If they don’t, the rockets will finish the job.

    After several hours of frustration, I’ve decided to give up the mission. Yes, it’s optional – as is the game, tho. If the only way to enjoy the game is to avoid playing it, or parts of it, it speaks volumes about the quality of the design. Too bad.    … Expand

    It's always TUT... TUT... GAME OVER. Mission failed before you even start it. You have a fraction of second to hide which is impossible. Then instantly appears an infinite army of soldiers. If they at least removed UNIDAD and left only cartel enemies, it would be playable.

    Utilises the amazing PC technology of today to be, eh, okay. [Issue#261, p.68]

    Great visuals and a huge map are perfect foundations for a good open world game, but Wildlands falls short of expectations (because of unpleasant driving and flight models among other things) and it’s up to Ubisoft to remedy that. [05/2017, p.46]

    Fun shooting and open world are great, but there aren’t many Ghost Recon elements and game simply feels dull at times.
